FactorEstimated Cost Range
Small area (up to 100 sq ft)$200 - $500
Medium area (100-500 sq ft)$500 - $1,500
Large area (over 500 sq ft)$1,500 - $4,000
Multiple paint layers$300 - $1,000 additional
Heavy-duty removal (industrial coatings)$2,000 - $6,000

Choosing the appropriate removal method can influence costs as well. Chemical strippers may be less labor-intensive but involve chemical costs, whereas abrasive blasting offers quick results for large areas but requires specialized equipment. Thermal methods are effective for certain coatings but may have higher operational costs. Consulting with professionals can help determine the most cost-effective approach tailored to specific project needs.
